Microsoft’s Project Pink to be canceled?
Microsoft’s Project Pink to be canceled?
It’s been rumored for a very long time that Microsoft was working on a new mobile project dubbed Pink. Headed by the Danger/Sidekick team that Microsoft acquired, Project Pink was supposed to incorporate Zune and debut other popular features currently absent from Windows Mobile. A few weeks ago, leaked images of what the phones could look like had many people scratching their head if Microsoft is serious about this. Today, MobileCrunch received news from a source who was either on the team or knows lots of info about Microsoft’s Project Pink. The source has stated that since the acquisition of Danger/Sidekick, most of the team has left or been fired. The source goes on to say the project was created to challenge the Windows Mobile 7 team and that Project Pink is now 2 years behind schedule. Internally, the employees hate the project and dissent is very high. With all those problems, the source states Project Pink “is near death and probably will be canceled.” Microsoft is very behind in the race for mobile, but not out. With the iPhone, Android, Palm, and Blackberry, Microsoft has lots of catching up to do. Tomorrow’s launch of Windows Mobile 6.5 is a step in that direction, but a very small one. The Zune HD clearly shows Microsoft can deliver when they need to and since they reject the idea of a self-branded phone, they should work closely with OEMs to base future phones around similar specs.
